Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray performed well on the ground in the 36-30 overtime loss to the Panthers, adding a 20-yard touchdown run. Murray's official stat line was 20-of-32 for 202 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, including 63 yards rushing and another touchdown. Unfortunately, Murray turned the ball over again, making a questionable throw in a crucial moment that was intercepted. The Cardinals' passing attack has struggled since the bye week, and the Cardinals are eliminated from playoff contention. Heading into next week, the Cardinals may be without running back James Conner (knee) and could be forced to rely more on Murray's legs to create in the running game. Murray will be on the lower end of quarterback rankings for championship week, though his rushing ability will keep him in the conversation when the Cardinals take on the Rams.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is a top-five quarterback play when the Cardinals travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers. Murray hasn't lit up the box score in recent weeks, but his Week 15 performance against the Patriots was a step toward returning to his usual output. He kept the ball clean last week, ending his streak of three games with a turnover. The Panthers' defense ranks 27th in points allowed to opposing quarterbacks in fantasy. It will be a colder game in Carolina, which could be an adjustment for the Cardinals' offense, but Murray has played well in cold games throughout his career. The matchup with the Panthers' defense and Murray's rushing ability make him a desirable start in fantasy in Week 16.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray finished the game after leaving in the 3rd quarter due to a hit to the head during the 30-17 win over the New England Patriots. Murray had a solid day in the win; however, he did not record a touchdown, which limited his fantasy output. Murray's official stat line was 23-of-30 for 224 passing yards, and he added five carries for 11 rushing yards. The Cardinals' offense got the much-needed bounce back, scoring 30 points in the Week 15 win. However, all those touchdowns came on the ground. The Cardinals' passing attack is still working out the kinks after the bye week, but today's performance was a step in the right direction. The Cardinals will travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers in Week 16, where Murray should be able to move the ball through the air.
Dec 16, 2024 12:30 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray ranks between QB6 and QB10 in Week 15 when the Cardinals host the New England Patriots. Murray and the Cardinals' passing attack should have the advantage in this matchup, as the Patriots rank in the middle of the pack against the pass. The Patriots also rank 22nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Murray's interceptions have cost the Cardinals in their last three games, and they have lost three straight. However, Murray and the Cardinals' passing game should be due for a much-needed bounce-back against the struggling Patriots.
Dec 13, 2024 11:07 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray delivered an average fantasy performance in the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks. Murray's official stat line was 25 completions on 38 attempts for 259 yards, two passing touchdowns, and two interceptions, while also adding 16 rushing yards. Murray's interception struggles since the bye week continued in this game, as he threw interceptions on back-to-back passes in the first quarter, making it challenging for the Cardinals to stay competitive. Despite keeping the ball clean through the first 10 weeks of the season, Murray has thrown at least one interception in each of his last three games, more than doubling his season total. However, Murray was still able to bounce back from the two interceptions, and the Cardinals' offense looked better in the second half. It was just a little too late for the Cardinals in this matchup. The Cardinals will host the New England Patriots in a Week 15 game, giving Murray great bounce-back potential.
Dec 8, 2024 11:45 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be considered a high-end quarterback play in Week 14 when the Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks. This matchup will be the season's biggest game for the Cardinals as they position themselves to try to reach the playoffs. With the stakes of this game as high as they get for a regular-season matchup, we can expect the Cardinals' offense to completely empty the playbook, which would include utilizing Murray's rushing ability. Murray has struggled in his last two games, especially in their previous matchup against the Seahawks, making him due for a huge bounce-back. The offense made strides a week ago but settled for too many field goals to get the win. With the expected increase in rushing and a sense of urgency from the Cardinals, fantasy managers should trust Murray in the starting lineup.
Dec 6, 2024 1:33 PM EST
Kyler Murray had an average fantasy outing in the Week 13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Murray completed 31 of his 45 passing attempts for 260 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Where he contributed to fantasy production, Murray also ran the ball seven times for 48 yards. This marks back-to-back weeks in which Murray has thrown an interception, an issue he will need to address as the Cardinals continue their playoff push. Despite two subpar performances, fantasy owners should not be discouraged from starting him moving forward. The Cardinals will face the Seattle Seahawks in an important Week 14 matchup that could decide the winner of the NFC West.
Dec 2, 2024 8:28 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is a low-end QB1 in Week 14 as the Cardinals travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. It was tough sledding for Murray and the Cardinals offense in Seattle a week ago. The Cardinals failed to produce a touchdown, and Murray threw a momentum-shifting pick-six that set the Cardinals' comeback hopes back by a large margin. However, the Cardinals' offense should return to its usual form this week. The Vikings' stout defense presents a challenge for the Cardinals' passing attack, but this is a unit that has earned its trust. The matchup makes Murray a low-end QB start, but he should still be started in Week 14.
Nov 30, 2024 5:45 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray failed to find the end zone through the air or on the ground in a 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Cardinals' offense lacked consistency all day and couldn't convert enough third downs to score any touchdowns. Although the offense moved the ball more effectively in the second half, Murray ended up with 285 yards passing, but a backbreaking interception returned for a touchdown limited the Cardinals' chances of taking the lead. The Cardinals will travel to Minnesota next week to face the stout Vikings defense, which could lower expectations for Murray, though he should still be started in most league formats.
Nov 25, 2024 9:15 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be viewed as a high-end QB1 in fantasy football for Week 12. The Cardinals are coming off a bye week and will travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in an important divisional matchup. Murray has been playing some of his best football recently, and the Cardinals' offense is operating at one of the highest levels in the NFL. The Seahawks' defense has been inconsistent this season and ranks in the middle of the pack, 19th, against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. The Cardinals are coming off two impressive blowout victories, where Murray's rushing ability wasn't needed to secure the win. However, in what should be a closely contested divisional game, you can expect the Cardinals to give Murray more rushing responsibilities. Fantasy managers should have full confidence in Murray as their starting quarterback this week.
Nov 22, 2024 10:42 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was sensational in the Cardinals' 31-6 victory over the New York Jets. Murray's official stat line was 22/24 for 266 passing yards and one passing touchdown while adding 21 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Murray had very few negative plays and operated the Cardinals' offense with elite efficiency, helping to end the game early. Murray and rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. got back on track, connecting for a 9-yard touchdown reception. With the Cardinals' offense firing on all cylinders and a favorable upcoming schedule, Kyler Murray is a must-start for the foreseeable future. However, fantasy managers must look to other options in Week 11, when the Cardinals are on a bye.
Nov 10, 2024 10:51 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is valued as a mid-tier QB1 when the Cardinals host the New York Jets in Week 10. Murray delivered a quiet fantasy outing last week in the 29-9 victory over the Chicago Bears, but that shouldn't concern fantasy managers, as he is still playing his best football of the season recently. The Cardinals took an early lead and shifted to a run-first approach en route to victory, which was the primary contributor to Murray's low fantasy output. However, the Cardinals are currently underdogs to the Jets, and a closely contested matchup will likely lead to higher fantasy numbers for Murray. The Cardinals' offensive line has been great in pass protection and will be equipped to handle the Jets' solid pass rush. There is no reason to bench Murray heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Jets.
Nov 8, 2024 2:25 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's arm wasn't needed much in the 29-9 win over the Chicago Bears. Murray's official stat line was 13 completions on 20 passing attempts for 154 yards, along with two rushes for six yards. The Cardinals easily moved the ball on the ground and consistently had solid field position. This led to a decrease in Murray's usage, as the Cardinals took a 21-9 lead at halftime and went into cruise control in the second half. All three of the Cardinals' touchdown drives resulted in rushing touchdowns. While this was not the outcome fantasy managers wanted to see, it shouldn't lead to panic. Kyler Murray remains a fantasy starter as the Cardinals host the New York Jets in Week 10.
Nov 3, 2024 10:19 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be started in all-league formats ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Chicago Bears. He enters this game as one of just three quarterbacks averaging over 200 passing yards and 40 rushing yards per game. His dual-threat ability makes him a strong fantasy starter in nearly every matchup. The Cardinals offense has seemingly found its identity, scoring 28 points in their Week 8 win over the Dolphins. Murray and his top target, Marvin Harrison Jr., have also found a groove, connecting for their fifth touchdown of the season. With the Cardinals offense gaining momentum and Murray's rushing ability, he is a high-end starting QB for Week 9 in fantasy football.
Nov 2, 2024 11:48 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray threw for over 300 yards for the first time this season in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Miami Dolphins. Murray's official stat line included 26 completions on 36 attempts for 307 yards and two touchdowns while adding 19 yards on the ground. He played his best game of the season so far and orchestrated a game-winning drive that set up Chad Ryland to hit the walk-off field goal. While Murray didn't have as many designed runs in previous weeks, this was primarily due to the Dolphins' ability to stop the run and the Cardinals' shift to a pass-first offense, which should not concern fantasy managers. Murray remains a starting fantasy quarterback as the Cardinals take on the Bears in Week 9.
Oct 27, 2024 9:46 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be viewed as a mid-tier QB1 in Week 8 when the Cardinals travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins. The team has been committed to creating more opportunities for Murray to use his legs in recent weeks, with at least six carries per game over his last three outings, including multiple touchdown runs of over 40 yards. This bodes well for Murray's fantasy outlook, as rushing stats are a significant driving force behind the top-ranked quarterbacks in fantasy. The Dolphins have a strong pass defense, which could lead the Cardinals to rely more on Murray's legs, making him a strong fantasy start in Week 8 against Miami.
Oct 25, 2024 12:12 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had a strong performance in the team's 17-15 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Murray rushed for 64 yards, including a 44-yard go-ahead touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. Through the air, Murray added 145 yards, one touchdown, and one interception on 14 of 25 pass attempts. While those may not be the flashiest passing numbers in the world, Murray took what the defense gave him and was able to make winning plays on the ground. He remains a must-start in fantasy as the Cardinals travel to Miami in Week 8.
Oct 22, 2024 1:30 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is a low-end fantasy quarterback start for Week 7. The Cardinals will host the Los Angeles Chargers in a pivotal game on Monday night. The Cardinals' offense is coming off a sloppy outing in Green Bay. However, Murray still had a decent game, completing 22-of-32 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals' offense has been streaky this season, and if they can find some consistency, they could have real fantasy upside. Cardinals wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) and Michael Wilson (ankle) appear to be playing, so the Cardinals' playmakers should be at full strength. The Chargers' defense ranks sixth against quarterbacks in fantasy, presenting a tough matchup. Murray's rushing upside still makes him a likely starter and a low-end QB1 for fantasy managers.
Oct 19, 2024 8:56 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray delivered an impressive performance in Sunday's 24-23 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. He completed 19 of 30 pass attempts for 195 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 83 yards and another touchdown. From the first drive, it was clear Murray was ready for a bounce-back game, highlighted by a spectacular 50-yard rushing touchdown. He showed composure in the pocket, effectively taking what the defense offered, even though he fell short of 200 yards passing. He nearly added another touchdown through the air but was thwarted by a dropped pass from tight end Trey McBride. Fantasy managers should be optimistic, as it appears the Cardinals will focus on more designed runs for Murray moving forward. Next week, the Cardinals will face the Green Bay Packers, making Murray a must-start option in Week 6.
Oct 6, 2024 8:33 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and the passing attack have cooled off a bit after a strong start. In Week 5, the Cardinals will travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers, ranked 11th against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. In last week's loss to the Washington Commanders, Murray struggled, failing to break 200 passing yards and only running the ball once. While this performance raises some concerns, it's not time to bench him in fantasy just yet. He remains one of the most explosive players on the field, with the potential for big fantasy outings. Despite his recent struggles, he has done an excellent job protecting the ball all season, with only one turnover. As significant underdogs against the 49ers, if the Cardinals fall behind and need to shift to a pass-heavy offense, Murray can quickly rack up fantasy points. He should be considered a low-end QB1 in Week 5.
